Good luck Jim. You really need to start pulling your weight with the Rec Poker total cashes challenge

Next episode of The Chip Race out in a few days shaping up to be one of our best I think. Last night, Phil Galfond gave us a great interview, this afternoon we recorded what I think might be our best topical segment ever with a mystery guest (I did kinda give it away on my instagram story though)

and just now we recorded a wonderful interview with Paulina Loeliger who broke her poker media radio silence going back years to open up about her life and poker journey, why she dropped the Pokerbunny persona, and dispense some great strategy nuggets

Guess what?

I wrote something about sports betting, and about the varieties of gambling and their various social optimalities. open.substack.com/pub/mattglas...

Hey folks I’m playing in the $400 bounty WSOP Circuit event at the Playground poker club in Montreal! Please send the rungood to table 64 seat 2 ok thanks let’s win a goddam ring!

I’ve been regularly volunteering at a food bank for about a year and please, if you want to help, consider donating cash. For $3, they can provide 15 meals and what they can do with the money you might spend on a few cans can be converted to vastly more in fresh fruit, vegetables, dairy, or meat.

Just released! It's the exciting conclusion of our interview with Joel Porter-Dias (Part 1 linked in thread below). In the strategy segment, @carloswelch.bsky.social and I discuss encouraging opponents to make the mistakes they want to make. www.thinkingpoker.net/2025/10/epis...

Part 1 is a must-listen if you haven't heard it yet! www.thinkingpoker.net/2025/10/epis...

Do it

As other people have noted, if you have local food banks, now would be an excellent time to donate cash to them, if you have the cash to spare. We will be upping our donations to food banks and hunger-related charities here in Ohio.

Just picked a whole bunch of basil and my hands are going to smell amazing for the next few hours. How's your afternoon going?

A text exchange between me and my oldest son.

The stories we tell ourselves present demanding tripwires. I talk to countless players who repeat many of these internal narratives. One of the more popular is, "they know exactly what I have." Never true. www.philgalfond.com/articles/the... @jakenetter.bsky.social @recpokerjim.bsky.social

I believe that every live cash session is a collective endeavor. We both forcefully compete, and respectfully engage. Both halves to me are essential. rec.poker?p=49966&prev... @recpokerjim.bsky.social @queenfive.bsky.social @daraokearney.bsky.social @tommyangelo.bsky.social

If nothing else, this is fun to see. But given the ad rates I've seen this month I am going to still cry myself to sleep tonight. (seriously, yesterday's ad rates were 15% of what they were on the same day last month)

Players who constantly cross the line are not only not good for the game in the long run, they aren't even good for the broadcaster that thinks the sensationalism is good for their show. Look at how much PokerGo has invested in Kassouf and Tajiou. Building them up and the whole

Ike is "stealing from everyone" by tanking once for 6min, but Kassouf & Kabrhel etc stalling for every decision point all day long every day - playing half or less the hands that other tables do - while spewing nonstop verbal diarrhea isn't? 🤔 That's not a serious take.

This 8+ yr interview from @thinkingpoker.bsky.social is the best analysis of Kassouf’s role in poker: thinkingpoker.net/2016/10/epis... Andrew and @natemeyvis.bsky.social do just enough grilling of Kassouf but they’re (1) respectful, (2) academic in their exploring the gray area of the rules, &

It's Independence Day today - the 4th of July - and I'm not feeling very cheerful about the American Experiment or the way things have been going for the past five months. BUT I am still going to be celebrating, and here's why (1/x)

Zach has turned into quite the punster, I see! Some pretty good ones in here, give him a follow

OK, so here’s my JJ Abrams story… Before I started working in digital restoration one of my primary jobs in post-production support was running the in-house theater and screening rooms at work. Every now and again it would get booked for casting sessions, because it was perfectly suited for that…

I'm not sure if that new series about an airplane hijacking is going to be any good. So far, they've only shot the pilot.

My daughter, Hope, just told me some kids in her neighborhood (a small 99.5% White town in Upstate NY where she wants to live) used to call her "The Black Man's Daughter" - but said they failed at insulting her because "What's wrong with being a Black man's daughter?" 🩷 #BlackSky

Here is a real unpopular opinion. Ruth Bader Ginsburg fucked us by not retiring under Obama with multiple years to spare. Also, our current situation is because of Mitch McConnell and his use of senate control to make the Supreme Court the joke that it is.

We really need to ramp up the sports discourse here. I don’t want to keep going back to the Nazi place.

Got to start on this half sleeve. Waves rocks and leaves.

New blog! It covers my first ever Super Senior’s event, and some of my thoughts on ageing www.vegasslotsonline.com/news/2025/07... Shares/comments/likes/reposts always appreciated

Here's where I'm at at this point: Anyone continuing to go there is keeping the Nazi place alive. Whether you interact with the bad shit or not, you going there keeps other people going there and posting there, which keeps the cycle going both in terms of them making $$ and others still going.

So, pro tip for dealing with serial harassers, provokers, people who don't respect boundaries and believe they are entitled to an audience, especially in situations where people are effectively trapped with them: Block them out any way you can, don't look don't listen don't engage.
